If you have questions about raising a child who is deaf or experiencing hearing loss, go online to The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s web site called “Raising Deaf Kids” at www.raisingdeafkids.org.

There are advances in research to improve the lives of people with hearing loss. See the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders at www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/hearing.
